Parts named for every code
- Door latch
- Door lock switch
- Wiring
No code in this group is tied to one part over another.
Background on the lock switch
This is general knowledge, not source detail. A lock holds the door during particular functions. A switch tells the control if the lock really engaged. Wrong information from either part, or from the wire between them, leads the control to show a code. No cause is offered by KitchenAid.
Owner action
Only a power cycle is listed. Switch the range’s breaker off, wait a minute, switch it on, then watch the oven for another minute for the code. Normal operation should be checked at the end. Do not push or adjust the door, since nothing in the instructions asks for that.
A code that stays
Replacing a latch, lock switch or wire falls to a technician. Jot down the exact code displayed before you call.
Other door entries
- F05: latch assembly and door switch.
